A picture of a library shelf with a small rolled up note on it. The note says “read this” in child’s handwriting.
A picture of the note unrolled. In the same child’s handwriting it reads “beware of the future!!”
Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…

As a random piece of trivia, Megatokyo arguably predates the concept of a Large Language Model approach to AI.
It's quite possible that modern AI engineers count the Emotional Doll System among their early inspirations. 😉
When you research to find a chonky watch a character in one of your stories will wear that has to have built in GPS to fill a "find out where you ended up" narrative need and you end up with it on your own wrist as part of the reseach... *sigh* #garmin
Which i think is a bit funny because it never occured to me that digital higher resolution versions of MT could be used to train AI crap. Didn't even cross my mind. I represent the innocence of a former ages sometimes (clicks my mechanical pencil a couple of times)
BTW, for the record, i so totally do NOT every use AI... ive never used Chat GPT, any of the image creation crap, etc. The only thing i use is probably what Google does with my searches and you cant help but look at the AI generated response... which i never trust and always look at the sites.
Implementing a site with Generative AI blocks and controls is a start to brake the AI training--there are ways.
As for format, a standards based format like ePub or PDF would be best to enable the reader on who-knows-what device.
Now, if i were to make a higher res fully digital version of Megatokyo (i have all the original files remember) and wanted to put something together that would be much easier to read than the website, but digital, what would you guys reccomend?
